Ipnavik and Colville Canoe Trip

In the upper Colville Basin, in the far western Brooks Range there is a wilderness almost totally unknown. Shallow, clear and punctuated by rocky bluffs, the Ipnavik River takes us through one of the least visited parts of Alaska. With help from CLF this area may someday form the core of the 5 Rivers Wilderness Area. After a week of paddling and hiking in the Brooks Range we fly to the Chukchi Coast and spend a couple of nights camping on the Arctic Ocean.
